Beyond Sinister

Lol! Perfect! Exactly like that. To hell with facelights, seriously thoguh.

I blew my own mind with windlight settings earlier today.. Did not edit at all, as you can tell by the hair and pauldrons cutting through her arm. I very much plan on manipulating this image, I love the light. I just wish you could see more of the outfit from this angle, I feel like I'm promoting slink a bit too much here

May I ask- is the texture you've applied a .png? Remember, ,png retains transparency. I believe if you reupload with a .jpg, your problem will be gone in a flash.

I'm pretty sure it's called Ashley. And yes, it is Birdy.

"This group is for the purpose of connecting pets with their owners. If you're a pet looking for cuddles, an owner looking for someone to be your foot rest, or a pet looking for someone to be your foot rest, you may advertise yourself here. <3" Looking for EVERYTHING right now, pets, owners and help! As for the job, to begin with. This shop is, ironically, not for making money. I intend to eventually sell a leash to go with the brand, and once that happens, pay will be more reasonable. For every 7 people you recruit and get filed under either "pet" or "owner", you will recieve 10L (accumulated and then given at the end of the week.). You must keep track of your own recruits. You would set your own hours and all that would be asked of you is that you help promote the group and help to sort the members (in the group and forum) as simply pet or owner. To apply, please paste and answer the following in a notecard: Name: SL age: Hours spent on SL per week: (estimate) Are you looking to be an owner or pet? Maybe both?: Gender: Why do you want to work with the Sinister pet shop?: How much time do you expect to be able to contribute to the pet shop?: And send it to Beyond Sinister. I will be selecting 3-4 people on Jan 4th. As for pets and owners, I'm looking for the most wild, the most adorable, the most strict, the spiciest- all of it! I want our selection to turn into a catalog of intense flavors personified by none other than you. Come flaunt yourself, find a worshiper, or just find something cute to cuddle up with. It's up to you. Please pm me in-world, or join the forum and pm me there if you have any questions.

Phoenix firestorm. Think I fixed it, haven't had trouble ever since

Had to google RLV, but no, I don't think I have anything with that enabled. Just checked the viewer. I've been shopping on the marketplace all day but I haven't accepted any random things, though I guess it's just as likely that something nasty came from the market place, huh? Can shapes and bodyparts be RLV? And does the item have to be worn to give someone those permissions(or whatever happened)?

So I was chillin' in the sandbox, playing dressup and taking pictures (as girls do)- when this avatar tps to me (I was at 2500 in the air...) and in a second, everything from my avatar and hud was detatched and the clothing removed. I logged out just as fast as that **bleep** started and changed my password. I'm worried that something may happen while I'm not watching my account or maybe they've already got vital account info, I don't know! I've read of a similar situation ending in someone's inventory or account getting messed up. This account is 6 years and a month old, I will QUIT AND DIE AND RAGE IN THAT ORDER if something happens to my account. Anyone else know what this is? Have you had it happen to you? Any suggestions to make more certain that nothing will come of this incident? Thank you for your help

I have; I tried catznip (Think that's how it was spelt) and then the official viewer. The problem first happened on Phoenix firestorm though, which I have returned to since switching never helped. I even reinstalled firestorm at one point

I stay frozen ):. Now that you mention it though, I will try leaving the viewer open for as long as I can to see what happens, but I have given it about 10 minutes before and it failed to recover.

Even google has failed me on this one. Happened yesterday, out of the blue, suddenly any time I tried to take a snapshot (In any method, graphics turned down, bandwidth fidgited with), my viewer window freezes before it can even pull up a preview. I have even tried different viewers. I can't even find anywhere where anyone has had the exact same problem; this happens EVERY attempt, mind you. Any help is much appreciated...

OKAY. I have been trying for the last hour and a half to find any little tidbit in any tutorial that will show me how to work with multiple layers while painting directly on the 3d model in CS6. I know there has to be a way, I just can't for the life of me find it. Any help will be muccchhh appreciated. <3

Oh, lord. I could have swore I was, lol. I double-tripple checked and everything. Of course, now that you mention it, problem solved. Thank you for the side lesson

I think I will end up taking the advice to post this information on the sims 3 modding sites, although I really do wish that this could be handled entirely by second life.. But I understand the dilemma.

Sadly, no, these are people thinking that they have found a loophole. EA does not care what anyone does with custom content created by players. There is no protection provided for them, and it is content created by the players of the sims 3 that is being compremised.

Madeline is exactly right. The most obvious giveaway I can see is the hair. Sims 3 hair meshes work much differently, they allow for a much smoother look with textures on flat surfaces arranged to give body (Best way I can put it, I am a beginner in 3d modeling). Secondly, the way that the meshes hold textures are entirely different in sims 3 vs. SL. A texture made for the body of a sim is simply laid out differently than the texture made for the sl av. There are many more facial slider options available in sims 3 than is available in second life, not to mention that the lighting effects and of course, the smoothing, are WAY different; it would be impossible to make an av exactly like a sim, not to sound hard headed; but I have loved both for years and years now, and I have tried-hard and have seen nothing close in all of aforementioned years. Maeve, that was excellent. I think you're on to something, it really does all look the same. I will be quoting you and posting your advice in my blog (As traffic-less as it is XP) in the same hopes. It's this kind of greedy behavior that is killing sl and I am RELIEVED to hear that I am not the only one who feels the smallest tug of an obligation here. And to miss Amethyst, try as I might, that still doesn't let me edit it. Had to screen cap it to prove I'm not stupid. D:

And I should mention that, upon trying to report the content, the closest category I could find was labled "Someone is infringing on my copyrights", and upon selecting that option, you get a message saying that you can only report it if it's YOURS. Nevermind that who knows how many other people are getting screwed over by this silly bs.

That is exactly it. They may have the rights, and that's all fine and dandy, I am not saying that creating with a template is bad; however, misleading people with false images is. The sims 3 previews show nothing of what it will look like in sl, even if they did (which, I would be suprised) go through the bother of readjusting the sims 3 skins to fit the second life av uvs. I see others stolen from 3d character sites advertising skins also. My examples come only from passing them by, not seeking them out, I was only in one sublet of the marketplace and I ran into multiple accounts of these silly scam attempts. While I do not mean to point out one user, and I would remove the link if I could find an "edit" anywhere (I've seen other people edit posts and I can't find it for the life of me..), this is only one store of many that do the exact same thing, they may as well be anonymous.

As many times as I run into it and become disgusted, I find that there is simply not much of anything I can do about fraudulent merchants on the marketplace. For YEARS, even since TEEN GRID has been open, people have been even stealing SCREEN CAPS from the sims and claiming it's sl! Oh. My. God. I'm sure there's poor people out there who can't see the difference (I've played both rigorously) who've been scammed hard from these. I just found a whole store with nothing but "templates" advertised by sims 3 images. Can we start an archive of these or something? Or, god forbid, make it reportable..? Isn't just claiming that you made something that you actually didn't already against the rules? Pathetic.

Seems like a better way to find what you are looking for would be to simply ask for "flaming hair" or something along those lines..

Forgot to add, this would be drawn out concept art, not just me blabbing and hoping you understand >__>

I have lots of ideas. All the time. Problem is, I could never get used to working with meshes or any 3d programs. Ever. I tried for a very long time. I'm not interested in L, (not to say I wouldn't adore a little shopping money XD) but I would love to help you come up with ideas, especially for furry or fantasy avatars. Fashion is fine also, I'm pretty okay with texturing just clothing for the most part, but my biggest advantage I have to offer is my creativity, I just need someone with the skill to one day let me see some of my ideas in use D:. I would also be more than happy to help with the texturing, I'd love to help, actually. x3 If you would like to take advantage of my services, please let me know and thank you for your time <3
